Penta Thrust--->Buffer Thrust... Dragoon doable?

[Azrael deFenris]

It was brought up (by me) that a Dragoon could renkei w/ himself if he had a Samuria sub. My reasoning behind this was:

Penta Thrust---->Buffer Thrust (or Double Thrust/Thunder Thrust/Raiden Thrust) = renkei

Since a Dragoon/Samurai would have both of these abilities and would also (at 60) be able to use Silent Concentration, which gives 100 TP in about 5secs, and Store TP they could conceivably do a renkei with themselves.

So something like:

Silent Concentration
Penta Thrust
wait 2
Buffer Thrust

Super Jump (would need to)

Dunno... would be nice though...

Yes, you can renkei with yourself. Meditation doesn't give you TP that fast, though.

For a samurai, you get an immediate 20 TP, and then an additional 20 TP every 2 seconds until you reach 100 TP (8sec)

If you are subbing samurai, the TP gain is 12, not 20.

By "Buffer Thrust", do you mean the spear175 weapon skill ƒ{?[ƒpƒ‹ƒXƒ‰ƒXƒg?H Is that what it's called in the NA version? Anyway, to be consistent, I will refer to it as "Vorpal Thrust".

Anyway, pentathrust has the attribute Žû?k so it'll connect with the ŠÑ’Ê spear weapon skills. That means

pentathrust>doublethrust
pentathrust>thunderthrust
pentathrust>raidenthrust
pentathrust>vorpalthrust

will work.

But why do those when you can do

Pentathrust>Skewer

It's much more powerful.

[Azrael deFenris]

I've seen it as Buffer Thrust and Vorpal Thrust. I don't know which it is called in NA version.

Ok, so even though Meditation doesn't give you TP as fast as I thought, you still would be able to renkei with yourself... sounds good.

What skill level is Skewer? I haven't seen it on any of the skill charts... I would guess... 200?

[Rent-A-Hamster]

Skewer is spear level 200. It is a dragoon only weapon skill. We can get it at level 60.

For more info you can check out the stickied guide at the top of the page.

[Azrael deFenris]

Using meditation, you can renkei with yourself. When you have 90 TP use meditation, and do pentathrust. You should be able to acquire another 100 TP fast enough; if not, use a jump or two. Follow the pentathrust with a skewer.

Guess I could have read that...
